Jim 2 Posted September 3, 2004 Well it has done 150k, but it has gone through some pretty hefty engine work after the timing chain apparently snapped on it thanks to some work done in a dodgy garage. But for what it costs, and the fact that it has ACRES of room in it (drop the back seats and you can easily fit a large office computer desk in it), its still a great car. Very comfortable drive too - and rock solid build quality. Nothing squaks or rattles anywhere inside!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
